Boris & Horton

You probably heard of this place if you own a  dog (or love dogs). One door (to your left) leads to where you order your drink or food, the other (on the right) is where you can enjoy your drink/food and have your dog hang out. I've been here a couple of times and each time I've been here, it's been a pleasurable experience. They also have adoption events and pop-up events as well! I have no complaints about the staff. In fact, all of the staff members are top notch! During one of the pop-up events that they held, my dog just kept marking on the side of the walls (despite having to wipe it every time) and a staff was nice enough to provide a disposable belly band for him.

I've only tried the drinks over here and enjoyed them so far. From iced matcha lattes to cold brews, and a bark & stormy (cold brew, ginger syrup, and lemonade), I'm sure something will quench your thirst. Plus, they have treats that your dogs may enjoy too!

What more can I say? A place where we can walk in and play with dogs for free?! This is dog heaven! We don't even have our own dogs but the people here are kind enough to let us play with their dogs. Plus the dogs enjoy being pet too! Granted people should buy something when coming here, but you can always just get some "puppy ice cream" for $4/cup and give it to one of the dogs!

Also, some general rules: there is a rule for not bringing in laptops on weekends. If you just want the cafe vibe, there is a separate area for more concentrated studying. However, the play area with dogs also has tables and chairs, so if you want to relax and read a book or use your laptop on weekends, feel free to do so! A warning though, sometimes the dogs will jump on the tables and chairs!

I love this cafe because not only do I get to bring my pup but everyone especially the owner is very friendly. This is my second time here and I don't mind traveling all the way from uptown because the ambiance is chill and lively all at the same time thanks to all the dogs that make this one of the happiest places in NYC.

There's a food side and a dog side and you can order on both sides as they will call your name no matter which side you're on. There's a free photo booth for taking pics of your pup in costume and lovely artwork on the walls for sale as well. There isn't much in the way of purchases for your pup with the exception of a few treats and novelty toys but the point is to have a nice drink/snack and relax or get some work done using the free WiFi while your dog socializes or snoozes.

I would give them 6 stars if I could.  We love coming here for the Pomeranian meet ups. We bring our boys in from park slope.  The drinks are great. The food is tasty. The people who work here are lovely and kind. It's the best place to hang out.

As far as I know, the only spot in the city where you can eat with your pet indoors. Two separate entrances for the cafe/kitchen and the seating area where you can be with your dog. Easily got a table on a Friday night and quickly went in to order some food/drinks.

Despite getting in an hour before close, the kitchen was already done for the night. Instead, settled on a beer ($7) and a bag of chips ($3). Took the items to the separate eating/seating area where dogs are allowed to roam leashlessly. While there, also got to shop around the "pet store" portion of the establishment, where they sell treats, toys, and other pet nick knacks.  

Definitely a cool place to hang around other dogs and even take pics with the free photo booth. Although I wish this spot stayed open later, glad it exists for the option to bring your pet indoors.

This cafe is an absolute GEM. The cafe is broken up into two parts (for health code regulations I'm sure). You enter in the traditional cafe area, and get your drink and/or food. They have a great variety of coffee offerings (including a super intriguing lavender latte). I went for an iced green tea, and I was splendidly surprised at the great quality tea they have. Then I got to head back into the dog area of the cafe. This is PRIME for sitting and enjoying a coffee and people/dog watching. Big dogs, small dogs, puppies and old doggos galore. Good drinks, good dogs-there is absolutely no downside. :)

This is probably our dog's vision of what heaven is like. He starts pulling us here if we come within five blocks of it. Wonderful owners and staff make this a warm and inviting place. The food and drinks are fantastic as well and the boards of playful pups make it special. They do fun events and meet ups all the time and host many adoption drives because it's clear they really care about making all dogs (and humans) happy.

Cutest cafe with lots of space for our 4 legged friends to run around!

Staff is amazing and they interact so well with the people and the pups - very inviting and with a huge smile! And the cafe offers a small selection of eats for the people and animals, as well as coffee, tea, beer, and wine items for the people. (There are two sections split off from one another - one is purely for humans, and the other is a mix of both. You can order at either station, but the food/drink pick up is at the human side only. Dogs are not allowed here - I am assuming for sanitary reasons.)

This was a great find by my friend who's a dog owner. I may not own any dogs of my own, but I love watching dogs and playing with them. And this was the perfect place to do that. The dogs ran around freely. And I feel like dog people are people with big hearts, so it's a very trusting and friendly environment by the staff and customers alike.

I'll be back for sure!

One of the coolest concepts in NYC!  It's the first FDA approved dog-friendly coffee establishment in NYC.  

They have a window on the outside, if you have your pup with you, you can order your coffee, grab a dog treat and head around the corner to the dog entrance, similar to a free dog daycare but you are there with your pup the whole time.  They have a doggy photo booth, dog treats, leashes, collars, bags, hats, t-shirts, dog tags, dog toys, and all sorts of other accessories.  They also have trivia on certain nights where you can win freebies (they have all sorts of cool events they have throughout the week - so look them up), and will close the dog area for private events if you want to throw your pup a bday party.

They also have another entrance - we'll call that the area where if you don't like dogs you can go into.

I stop in here every time I'm in the city because its a feel good kind of place.  Every dog owner is responsible and respectful and it actually opens more people up to talking when they have their furry friend around.  The owners of this place are exceptionally nice people, and are always around.  If you love dogs as much as I do, then you'll be doing yourself a favor by bringing your pooch down here where big dogs and small dogs can connect.

Cheers & Enjoy!

Boris & Horton is soooo Fabulous that I simply must write another review,as now I've had their FOOD,not just their Amazing COFFEE!
The Avocado Toast was absolutely worth the trip out in the triple digit heatwave.And the attractive,and ever attentive baristas are worth EVERYTHING.Oh,and I actually saved a blind dog from running into First Ave traffic on the way home.What a day!

I had been meaning to check this place out since I heard of its opening and it did not disappoint.  It is wonderful to have a space that actually encourages you to bring your dog along.  The owners of the place, father and daughter, made sure to work out with the health department to meet all the standards required to make this place possible.

The large open area they recently expanded into provides tons of space for curious and playful dogs to explore and play with other dogs and humans alike as they roam around off leash.  There is a photobooth as well to dress your pup in and capture evidence of your fun time there.

In the separate space where you can purchase food and beverages there are desserts, coffee, wine, and sandwiches.  And there grilled cheese sandwiches are fabulously cheesy, the kind when you pull put a slice of it the cheese just stretches for like a foot between the two halves!

The spaces, both dog and cafe areas, are clean and smell perfectly fresh, and delectable even when it comes to the food and drinks.

They also host trivia nights here and other events.

This place is a truly a gem and I look forward to coming back here with my dog who really enjoyed herself while here!

We had such a happy Saturday here with our boy Gerbert. All you do is drink cappuccinos and watch your dog go absolutely nuts, playing freely with a bunch of other dogs in a cleaner, nicer dog park.

The photo shoot, led by photographer Rachel, was incredible. Her and her team's dedication and professionalism to getting the photos of your dog is amazing, especially since it is FREE and there is no guarantee you'll buy the photos after. Of course, after looking at them all, I think I will :D

There's even a photo booth for you and your dog! And it moves! Like a gif! That's another batch of photos you get later on, like a nice little post-holiday present that arrives in your inbox.

Get the avocado toast and a coffee and delight in how happy you and your dog are at this gorgeous dog cafe.

5 Stars!!!!

I love taking my dog here to this spot when I discovered they opened a year or so ago. During that period they made some great renovations and changes to create better flow and space for dogs and people to enjoy.

I've bought many dog items them from their shop as well that are unique and fun such as bandanas, poop bag holders and treats!

The staff has always been very courteous and kind with everyone.

The only feedback I have is staff have also been really pre occupied by the one door at a time section. I've been politely reminded once one door at a time as I did forget! Also other customers or new customers don't know or forget as well which makes the scene even more chaotic.

At some point, it was chaotic and one of the girls said I could go through first to exit the store. I went through and on the other side of the door was an angry, agitated customer who immediately reprimanded me for opening both doors which I didn't?

After trying to really sort out the stress I felt from that incident, the store may need to figure out a better way to have one door open at a time, such as a technology or mechanism where when 1 door is opened, the other door automatically locks until the first door shuts. This may help reduce some tension among customers and staff when it comes to that particular entry/exit area.

Either way, I still would go here. I love how friendly the dogs are, staff are polite, kind and courteous. To me, the grilled cheese is my favorite as well as the Eloise and the Matcha lemonade all iced!

Puppies and coffee. Do I need to say more? The puppies are so happy and relaxes me. The coffee is pretty decent. I had an iced americano large for 4.50 which isn't that bad...  I got to pet so many dogs of different kind on a rainy day

To know I can bring my dogs indoors and have coffee - share greatness!

An ABSOLUTE GEM! :'^) I could go on and on about this place but I recommend doing yourself a favor and just going there to experience it yourself, because each visit will be different, but all, of a high level of amazing (that is, assuming there are dogs each time you visit)

Instead, I'll briefly go into the food. I always get their coffee when I go to visit the dogs and that itself is a great time, but one time I got their banana bread with labneh and honey and oh honey, oh honey, just when I thought this experience couldn't get any better, it did -- an amazing pastry in one hand and dogs galore in the other.

Also, I saw Steven Lim here working once which was also pretty neat.

Food: 7.5/10
Place: 10/10
Price: 6/10

we came on a weekend and this place was PACKED.
there were so many dogs, a little chaotic.
there was not a lot of space for us to sit and eat our food.
regardless, obviously the cafe is more for dogs than for humans, so the chaos is understandable.
i loved the free Photo Booth!!
my dog definitely loved it here as he got to meet so many dogs.
there are some unruly dogs so even though its off leash, please pay attention to your dog !

This place is amazing. It's the best dog friendly place I've been to in Manhattan. They have a great system for keeping up to health code - you can easily order and go get your food from another part of the coffee shop. Owners keep an eye on your off leash dogs and even clean up messes. It's a delight.

Moral of this review - bring your dog, duh

This is a cute place where you can bring a dog and hang out in a cafe atmosphere. Cute photo booth to take pics with your dog.  I've been to cat cafes before and know there are health code restrictions for keeping the food/drink separate from the animal inhabited areas - but I know at some of the cat cafes the staff will bring your order to you on the animal side and think that would work better here as well so you don't have to leave your dog unattended (esp if they are the anxious type).

I love B&H for the things they do for our furry friends and us.

Thank goodness they had the guts to create a space where we can enjoy food and drink with our 4 legged friends.

I love how you can get beer/wine in addition to really good coffee.
Try the cbd oil in your alcohol to give a nice buzz going.
